MSN - Butterfly or Haze

Currently butterfly does not support the method we use for KWallet
integration for passwords.

This leaves us a bit fucked.

George K suggested we simply use the MSN plugin from Haze rather than
Butterfly. It apparently doesn't lose your messages and has the
password interface we need.

We use butterfly because of this wiki page:
http://telepathy.freedesktop.org/wiki/Haze%20vs%20Butterfly but it's
mostly obsolete now. I've heard telepathy devs complain about
butterfly and want to see it scrapped.

When asked on the telepathy mailing list the response was "fix
butterfly". Given this probably includes fixing telepathy-python which
is deprecated, frankly I can't be bothered.  Besides we'd never get it
to the users in time for our release anyway.

So:
Who here uses MSN?
Do you use butterfly or haze? Have you tried both? Which is better?
Any strong opinions?

Due to the feature freeze we need to make a decision ASAP.

Dave
